I'm having a lot of fun in Prototype lately just cycling through various methods of fighting things. Still I have to admit, a lot of times it's very much so a matter of just relaxing into catharsis.
As to Mercer's morality, I actually enjoy the morality presented in Prototype. It's really pretty damn gray, partly since at the end of the day you're a mass murdering fuckhead one way or another. But on the other hand, most of the people there are only alive to kill because you saved their asses directly or indirectly. So where does that fall on the balance beam of good vs. evil, how many saved lives make up for the constant stream of murders, and how many murders make up for saving so many lives? I think the fact that the game doesn't have to pontificate about it is a good thing, it's just the facts that you are both good and bad at the same time, just like most people but out to further extremes.

I've actually never played 90 percent of the games Yahtzee reviews but I almost die laughing along to every Zero Punctuation. This is one of the funnier ones, might I say. "Sneak up behind a soldier, eat him without being noticed then when you get back to the base accuse the other guard of being you in disguise and while they're busy shooting him eat them too."
That made my week.

That and while Mercer's actions are dubious at best and psychopathic to most people, what he is fighting is infinitely worse, the humans who made it and continue to try and control it and the infected themselves.SaraPh said:
because my opinion absolutely matters I'd plump for Prototype every time simply because of the visceral qualities of manipulating your biology into awful implements of death, which I've dreamed about for many many a year.
I don't know why, but the image of the trash robot blasting someone while demanding spare change had me in stiches more than it did in the InFamous review.
Heck, the imagery this time was really hilarious.

Why did he have to do this? I'm getting irritated with the whole "prototype copied infamous" and vice versa. For one thing, Prototype was in development since like what, 2005? A lot of his points were dumb such as the not using any weapon, I use EVERYTHING. ITS WHAT MAKES THE GAME FUN. Second, do gliding challenges have to have a purpose? Third, the whole web of intrigue thing is just a unique tidbit to the game's story that adds nothing because you can't figure out what the fuck any of it means. Beside that, it isn't meant to explain the story. And I found the story to be rather simple and easy to follow. Look, I'm not a fanboy or anything, it's just that this review pissed me off because of all the ridiculously stupid points. AND the fact that he had to compare it to inFamous, one of the things I wouldn't expect this reviewer to do.
For anyone who is new here let me summerize 99% of comments on Yatzee videos.
Either A: I love you Yatzee and every thing you do is perfect.
Or B: Your opinion disagrees with mine. That makes you wrong and here's why.
What bouth sides have to understand is that nobody gives a damn about what you think.
Of corse nobody gives a damn about this post or what I think either.

I know he doesn't even read these but damn...he has gotten really good lately. I don't know what happened over the last month but Yahtzee has gotten so funny I almost feel bad for watching these for free

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if one or both did haha. And it would be awesome if they did.James teh OG said:
I only played Prototype but there's one thing that can be said about it, I've said it already but I'll say it again. It's an improved version of Hulks Ultimate Destruction, I'm not kidding when I say that most of the movement abilities are exactly from that game. Give it a try if you think I'm wrong when I say the gameplay is nearly identical in a lot of ways. Though granted they improved it a lot with camo, story, more moves, more enemies, some stealth and better graphics, it's still very very similar. (Not saying that's a bad thing
